Implant pioneer Dr. Roger Leir, one of the leaders in physical evidence research in the field of Ufology, died Friday, March 14, 2014, after a long illness. Leir claimed he surgically removed many objects from people and concluded they were alien in origin – a form of nanotechnology.

He was the author of several books, including The Aliens and the Scalpel: Scientific Proof of Extraterrestrial Implants in Humans, and UFO Crash in Brazil.

Dr. Leir also researched UFO cases, including the 1996 Varginha, Brazil, case in which an extraterrestrial was reportedly seen by multiple witnesses and captured by the military, and the 2007-2009 UFO sightings in Kumburgaz, Turkey.

Leir was a Podiatric Surgeon who was in private practice in Ventura County, California, for nearly 50 years. He held academic degrees of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, Bachelor of Science, and Associate in Arts and was a board certified podiatric surgeon.
